Why Choose Mathematica?
Mathematica has long been known for its powerful numerical, graphical,
and symbolic computation capabilities. Now, more and more companies are
discovering that the features that make it a standard for
technical computing
also help to make companies more efficient by
increasing the speed of development and communications,
cutting down on
errors, and ensuring future compatibility. For years
Mathematica has met the stringent demands of top engineering
companies and laboratories throughout the world.
Speed Up Communications
Mathematica is designed to be an integrated start-to-finish
application that lets engineers, researchers, whole departments, or
companies
work in one comprehensive, easy-to-use environment. In this hassle-free
climate, your
project
development and communications speed will dramatically improve, and you
will never again have to duplicate work due to lost information, compatibility
issues, misunderstood notes, or other communication problems.
When you are ready to present your work, just add some finishing touches
to your notebook, and all your calculations, graphics, code,
and notes will be ready for your viewers. You won't have to spend your valuable
time learning multiple tools, training others, or keeping track of software
and platform compatibility, and you will have the peace of mind that will help
you work more effectively.
Speed Up Development Time
 Mathematica's
notebook format combined with its symbolic and graphics capabilities will
allow you to quickly reproduce your work for testing and quality assurance. Expensive and time-consuming numerical simulations will be greatly
reduced since prototyping is made easy with Mathematica's
functional programming constructs. These tools enable you to handle more
complex and realistic models,
reducing the number of iterations needed to fine-tune your simulations and
physical models. With MathCode
C++ you can also generate optimized
C++ code for numerical simulations from Mathematica and link existing
C, Fortran, or C++ code to your generated code.
Eliminate Errors
Mathematica's unique symbolic engine eliminates errors even before
the numeric computation begins. You don't need to manipulate and oversimplify
your equations before you evaluate them; Mathematica automatically
chooses the correct algorithm to do this for you. Its single unified environment
that you access throughout the development
cycle
eliminates transcription and coding errors, while smart numerics makes floating-point
and round-off errors a thing of the past. Mathematica provides you
with an extensive array of data analysis tools and the world's largest collection
of mathematical algorithms, allowing you to easily verify accuracy and perform
calculations in a variety of ways. Moreover, you can feel safe knowing that
the quality assurance program at Wolfram Research is one of the most sophisticated
in the industry. Because of its reputation for accuracy, Mathematica
is now viewed as a standard for reliability, and many major
companies rely on it to
test their products.
Stay Compatible with the Future
 Unlike
many software packages and programming languages, Mathematica is
one hundred percent cross-platform compatible. This means that you can
continue to use it without costly porting or reengineering, no matter
what your computing environment will look like in the future. To switch
to a different computing platform (for example, from VMS to Unix, from
Unix to NT, or from NT to Linux), simply move your files to the new location
and you will be up and running. Wolfram Research also pays great attention
to backward and forward compatibility. Many programs that were written
for Mathematica 1.0 back in 1988 still work flawlessly in today's
Mathematica. How many systems and programming languages can
claim that?
